Rare Artefacts

There are many objects in the sacristy, including excellent examples of goldwork embroidered objects (e.g. επιτάφιοι, epitafioi, the sacred liturgical 'tapestries' depicting the entombment of Christ; and επιτραχήλια, epitrachleia, liturgical stoles), silver objects (e.g. chalices, blessing crosses, εξαπτέρυγα, exapteryga, decorated accessories for the base and top of poles for ecclesiastical banners; εγκόλπια, engolpia, medallions; and other liturgical vessels), and small versions of ecclesiastical objects, which for centuries were used by the fathers during worship.
In the publication Guide to the Artefact Exhibit, the visitor to the Monastery can find information about the most important of the artifacts displayed in the sacristy.
